the election takes a new turn . . .

Voting at Galway was fast and orderly. In the voting booth, I looked at this list of names for County Executive - Chuck Floyd, Ike Leggett, Robin Ficker - and I was unimpressed.

I knew my mother was voting for Ficker. Earlier today, she told me that Robin Ficker had represented my step-dad about fifteen years ago. I was pretty amused, but still unsure.

I clicked "Write-In" and typed: D-A-N-space-R-E-E-D. I know it's late in the game, but I am announcing my entry into the race for Montgomery County Executive.
